About the work

I work on paper, developing a form of painting where the component layers are painted and then assembled on to a painted surface. I'm intrigued by the paradox of the fluidity of the paint when working these layers and their transformation into hard edged shapes and forms when assembled on the painted surface. With my background in sculpture I am drawn to the physical act of constructing the painting, and the conscious interplay of depth, edge, surface, colour and shape. The painted lattice- like layers are structured in such a way as to partially conceal the underlying surfaces, constraining what is exposed or what might be revealed. This dialectic between medium and process helps to foreground the human centred themes of vulnerability, privacy, concealment, access, endurance - expressed through the form of landscape, both inner and outer.

Works in paper

Paper is brittle, fragile, delicate, and yet it can also be surprisingly robust and resilient, as such it is an ideal medium for the ideas I keep returning to: what lies beyond the surface - the barely seen, the partially revealed, the unacknowledged.
